Hehe, no Moggi to do his thing in the mercato... Forza Frings!

Doesn't Kaka's marriage free up another Non-EU spot? I thought we'd have the official one and this extra one now that Kaka has an Italian passport? That's the way i interpreted it when i read the article.

Tony, i think you may end up with Gilberto Silva and/or Emerson again for your defensive midfield spot. I'm also glad you don't think you're bidding for Lucas

Someone asked about 2 Flamengo´s prospects

Renato Augusto is a good player, but I don´t think he has the whole package to shine a top european stage.

Obina is a bum! No chance for him to play in Milan. Ricardo Oliveira is 10 millions times better than him. Even ageing Amoroso with his "lightning" passage for Milan is better than him.

Juventus look set to miss out on Torsten Frings after he extended his contract with current club Werder Bremen.

“I received a great offer from Juventus, but Werder are an affair of the heart for me,” said Frings on Wednesday to the club’s website.

So we can't be sure if Juve aren't after Lucas now....shame as he's a great player and the perfect mix for Milan midfield...as he can offer cover for Pirlo and/or Gattuso when needed.

Also Zapata is keen to join us and I think we have a big chance of getting him if we really want... £5m + Co-Ownership of Marco Borrielo...for a young and good defender, not bad at all and I would like to see him playing for us.

I doubt juve are after Lucas because, as tony said, Juve don't have an extra 10 mil to risk on a talented but also hugely unproven player.
Right now Juve need to be smart with their money and they will probably look to invest in more established players and especially players who have already proved themselves in Europe.

To be honest i was never happy about Frings so i'm not touched at all from the latest news. I mentioned Frings more in the context of Juve going after some experienced player and not after some younster, no matter how great or talented the youngster is.
So Frings, Almiron, G.Silva, Emerson...all of them have an advantage over Lucas, Mavuba, Gago or similar talents.

Oh and Marko....i don't think even Moggi would have helped this time. Read Kastriot's article and you'll see why.
It's kinda like with Buffon and Juve last year.
Seems like he decided to listen to his heart and stay with his first professional team, the team where he spent 8 years of his career, because Werder's offer is probably much lower than Juve's and some other potential offers Werder would have gotten for him, and he still decided to stay there.

Frings ( if he really stays at Werder) . I love such players who chose to listen to their heart and don't go after the green banknotes.

Tony how does it feel to let one of the best strikers in the world go for 10 Mill, oooooooh it must burn.

On a serious note:

According to The Soccer News - Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho is set to join AC Milan this summer for a figure of 15 million pounds. Jose Mourinho is looking to refresh his team and has stated that a good quality central defender is his top priority.

Im not complaining

I dont know if Soccer News is considered reliable or not but that story is absolute rubbish

Mourinho has said a few times this season that Carvalho has been the best defender around, there isnt a chance he'd sell him.

Ibrahimovic?

There's no way Mourinho will let Carvalho go, i can't see that happening at all. Only today Mourinho has been commenting on keeping his squad at 24 players, so i don't see him letting one half of his first choice cb pairing leave. Bhoularouz (sp?) maybe, he's not really settled. Alex may go to the London club but then there's that whole work permit issue (no doubt they'll find a way round it ). Plus who would they replace him with? Pepe? Just can't see it. Though i agree that if it were true i would not be complaining.

It's not Ibra.
I'm sure Milancelotti knows Juve sold Ibra to Inter for €24.8 million, not for €10 million.
Milancelotti is talking about some other striker !

Or maybe Milancelotti is writing somewhere from the future and he knows Juve sold Trez for 10m.
Gee, Milancelotti, if that's the case please let me know so i will go and linch Secco.

JM does not like Alex, im pretty sure of that as its in the media just like what he thinks about MB and AS.
